It's just hard not to listen to TV: it's spent so much more time raising us than parents have.

Actually, I've been working on a plan. During the exam, I'll hide under some coats, and hope that somehow everything will work out.

Back in high school, I wrote a novel about a character named Bart Simpson. I thought it was a very unusual name for a kid at the time. I had this idea of an angry father yelling "Bart," and Bart sounds kind of like bark - like a barking dog.

There's always room out there for the hand-drawn image. I personally like the imperfection of hand drawing as opposed to the slick look of computer animation. But you can do good stuff either way. The Pixar movies are amazing in what they do, but there's plenty of independent animators who are doing really amazing things as well.

I'm a writer who just happens to draw.

How can I be expected to love someone who tries such crude manipulations as bringing me breakfast in bed?
